Much improved.

My expectations were pretty low if I'm honest, after being underwhelmed by The Christmas episode. This new year's special was definitely more like it, it wasn't a classic episode by any means, but it was so much better, and pretty funny.

The first thing that was evident, was the bigger cast, the show had always thrived on its variety of quirky characters, lots in this one.

Some nice messages here, that bit of sentimentality that used to be so good, that talk about fog was nice.

There was a bit of repetition, some of the gags have been done before, but at least we weren't bombarded with talk of Covid.

I'm glad it's back next year, but Brendan you need a few fresh ideas, 7/10.

Mammy's Memories

The New Year special is better than the Christmas episode but only slightly.

Mrs Brown has toned down the reference to Coronavirus.

However there is little that passes for a plot. Cathy is grumpy that she will be celebrating her 50th birthday and she still has not got a man.

Mrs Brown receives a letter from someone claiming to be a long lost son. Winnie's house is burgled and she loses her mother's wedding ring.

It just lacks freshness and spontaneity. Brendan O'Carroll needs to do better for future episodes.

Oh Dear...

What has happened to this once hilarious show? Now reduced to endless scenes lifted directly from The Golden Girls. Yes, really. This has been getting more blatant every year. Dorothy Zbornak would do one of her slow burning disapproving stares in disgust.

Gary Hollywood no longer being part of the show is a huge gaping canyon that will sadly never be filled. Dino (and the original Rory) brought so much laughter to the show and will always be missed.

Time for the team to really up their game next time as the latest 2 "specials" were sadly anything but special.
